Ok...

Has anyone had a felt-ish sorta material before? If you have, you will more than likely agree how much of a kent it is to clean!

Well, Im sorta thinking of going a nice Marine Vynal or a Cheap-o leather... Mainy because it always looks good, and easy to clean!

I will be keeping the exact same design as I already have on the inside... The red and black!

Just want a few opinons!

i think it will look good in red and black vinyl/leather and you can get some good stuff for a very reasonable price if you shop around and you can get a big range of colours, i'd say go for it

talk to toddy about his uncle's leather shop in town.. they'll be able to do a sweet deal on it i reakon..

when i saw this thread i thought you were going to go the drastics and re do the whole lot...

go out and get decent leather moe, trust me it's worth it (im doing tan leather and hopefully some snake skin inserts

I reckon ill have a chat to Todd...

But even a marine vynal is heaps nice! They did my XA interior out of that, and it looks awesome! Looks like leather, feels like leather, and smells like leather... BUT, it isnt leather! What a blow out...

MOE MOE MOE

*shakes head*

sort the engine out and then worry about interior!

damn dude, the way things are goin that engine will never see ur engine bay....

Hell yeah it will man!!!

22nd of Jan...

Works like this... St Helens Car Show on the 20th, USA day on the 21st and then I have the 22nd and 23rd off as well...

Im expecting a few people to come and give me a hand... *cough cough* Delazy

But yes, while Rolla is off the road, interior will be getting done also!

so we're goin to have a big weekend away, come home tired and rather hungover and take an engine out??







BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA....goodluck lmao

OK dude, gimme a PM and I will give you my mobile no.

Let me know (approx of course what you want) and I will have a chat to him and organise what I can!

what colour are you thinking? I think red is hard to get ATM but that was little while ago when my best mate was doing his Commy...

look at ur sig moe !
lol i don't see any mention of that.
just wrap the whole thing in plastic like old ppl do with couches

Thats exactly right my good man



No dramas man! Im sure we will have a chat tomorrow night!



hahaha... Ill have to update the sig then

i agree.

Fuck the interior imo. It doesnt make you go any faster does it?

Get off the grass Aido, you say that shit all the time... yet you have tried converting your VL into a Calais. How much faster has that made you? Don't bother replying

Not a very original insult mate. I don't bag you about buying a 300ZX, a car that is reported to handle like a boat and be extremely unfriendly to modifiers do I? Everything Calais you see on my car was bought for a grand total of $500. I never set out to build a Calais replica, I just couldnt turn down cheap parts.

To build a fast car you have to start with a good base I believe, hence why I made subtle improvements to my car. Moe has more than a good base to start with so I reckon its about time to start getting serious and making the thing move!!

I wasn't insulting you... every person is entitled to their own opinion. I have seen you post a few times, why bother, doesn't make it faster... But the fact is, its not all about going fast! Some people are after the WHOLE package.

You are also entitled to your opinions on a 300ZX. It doesn't worry me in the slightest what others think, specially if they have never driven/worked on the car before. It's a bonus when people think Z's are boats etc... as I know there are a lot of people out there that feel the same way. Just makes it more enjoyable when I hand their arse to them on a plate

Its a fucking show car man, it isnt supposed to go fast... yet...



OWN3D...

To all the people who think the gze wont happen, IT WILL BE GOING IN BEFORE THE INTERIOR GET REDONE!

I have another full standard interior organised which will be sent to the trimmers, and then once that is ready, it will be a straight swap over!

that was my understanding of the change on materials

You got it in one my good friend!!!

I seriously love the material that is in it... But for an everyday car to be used as a show car also, it isnt really 'user friendly'

Yeah go for it dude. You want it a show car, keep it that way. Your logic seems to be fine. And if it's going to be off the road why not do it all at once. Makes perfect sense to me.

Good man... fnally, someopne agreees with me...

happy new yearss

Haha there is a brain under tha orange fur ball If you run outta time and need a few more helping hands send me a PM. Good luck with it dude.

so theres no chance of a colour change in that interior while your changing it moe,
would look nuts mustard and black leather/vinyl, heheh just putting the idea out there.

^^^^ Second that right there.

Man that would look awesome, good idea !!!!

I had thought about it... but I dunno, I sorta like the change of colour on the inside...

But you are right, it would look pretty damn sweet...

But me being a picky bugger, id then have to change my neons to yellow, and repaint all my calipers to Acid Rush... I was keeping red highlights here and there!

What does everyone else think?

and change the speakers while ur at it...

i could hav a very nice NOT SONY shopping list written up quickly

y not mustard and black and still have a few red highlights ie instrument cluster red mayb red gear boot but doors and seats mustard/black im sure it would work out dude that way you wouldnt have to change brakes colour or speakers if you didnt want too.

Hmmms... I still find it amusing... The people who bag out my Sony gear, are the ones who dont have a decent car stereo

But yes, the speakers shall be changed, because I cant find another set of the same for the front doors (not even on back order )

Ill have a think about it...

But, I reckon Ill be keeping the red and black!!! Mustard and black would look hot as... might save that for Rolla Bus II (a twinky)...

yes mr moe...they might be when sony had reasonable speakers....but they are still sony

hey moe
i recon that if you really wanted to paint calipers and do the neons and stuff the black and mustard would have to be leather. if you need any help with putting the engine in ie some one to hold you froffie im there lol

haha you could do a whole heep of shit all:)

moes stezza is great....... better than mine by all means...

but everyones idea on sony gear is that it is shit...... depends on what you are comparing it to.

gets some poly glass focals into ya and you will be laughing

i've got stock speakers...... someone please have a go at me

far out people.....

Moe, ur sony gear is good.... turns up loud.... thats all u need!

Before u came onto this site... u had pretty much built ur car the way u wanted it..... now here's what I have to say about u changing ur interior......... do what u want to do... cause ur the one that has to look at it more than anyone!

^^^ Agree with that also. But there is nothing wrong with having a few people throw a few opinons at Moe. It might help him make a decision or two. Personally Moe, I have never been one for a colour clash, I don't know why just hasn't really been appealing to me. I do think Shaun has hit the nail on the head with the mustard/black leather it would look really neat. And even if you did have to change a few things eg. speakers calipers and neons, just sell your old gear and you will end up finding you will get most of the cash you need to do it back. But in the end as J said it is your car, have it how you want it. I just think it's good that people are throwing some options your way that maybe you hadn't thought of previously

Yeah thanks guys for the opinions, that is what I am after!!!

I know a fair few people like the clashing of my interior...

To me, the car has two 'rooms', inside and ouside... So both should look different... Hell, you can only really be at one at a time

So, sorry guys who arent keen, but Im going to leave the colours as is. Shaun, it was a great idea, and you had me thinking there for a few seconds , but yeah, I dont think the Rolla Bus would be the same without red highlights!

thats the way mate, was just throwing it out there
at the end of the day we build cars for ourselves, not other people. whats in our cars refects what we like, simple

Why be sorry Moe? It's your car. Will be happy to see the finished product

Dont forget you can use stitching to highlight colours as well - i.e. black leather/vinyl with red stitching etc.

Good luck with the change Moe - if the rest of your car is anything to go by, whatever you decide to do is going to match your theme and look fantastic anyway

Its hard trying to decide what to do with interiors - I'm still tossing up what to do with mine, I like leather but I dont like aftermarket leather (it just doesnt sit the same as factory), but velour is nice but like you say hard to clean - so I've put the interior / install thing in the too hard basket for the moment

......Go full shag pile interior..........

a agree with pete

it worked for jesses truck...

Now the paint on my dash is cracked due to the hot ass weather

Has to be repainted... and airbrushing done again...

So, a colour change my be one the way who knows...

just not having any luck r ya bud?

its hard to keep a show car of show quality when u use it as a daily!

is there anything you could put on the dash ?
a clear dashmat kind of thing or one of those tint strips that are normally on the top of windscreens ?
could u get it done over the dash to protect it ?

I have to get it all sprayed again first man, and have to get a few of those windscreen heat protector things that have suction cups on 'em...

Pain the ass they are...

Im going to have to sand the bitch back and 'glass it all this time...

You could get a dash mat for every day and just take it off for car shows? Anything you put on it that's clear (like a plastic cover or something) is probably just going to intensify the heat. Its times like this its a real bugger you couldnt get the front window tinted just a little.

I had thought about the dash mat...

But only prop is, the dash has been shortened and gauges sitting on top, so it wont fir

And it would more than likely scratch the clear coat

Hmmms...

Just put some holes in the dash mat, ha then you can add it to the mod list Custom Dash Mat haha.

Custom fitting dash mat would be the way to go, who says its not going to crack again after you rub,spray and airbrush it again?

and if you're careful (which you are!) you wont scratch it anyways dude.. as tim said... custom mat.. they're not that hard to take a pair of scissors too...
